The teardrop-shaped clear glass body is enclosed in a delicately handwoven bamboo lattice, gilded for a touch of opulence while retaining the organic texture of the natural material. The contrast between the transparent blown glass and the golden bamboo basketry creates a sculptural effect that is both airy and richly decorative.

Set on a round giltwood base measuring approximately 9.75 inches in diameter, the lamp rises to 25 inches in height and has been professionally rewired for use in the United States. A brass neck and socket complete the piece. The understated elegance of the materials makes this lamp well-suited to a variety of interiors, from coastal and Mediterranean styles to Hollywood Regency or eclectic vintage settings.

A distinctive and well-proportioned lighting piece, this lamp brings both texture and visual lightness to a room — a fine example of Italian design with enduring charm. See less
